Losing a part of me

Today is Day One. I have a program buddy with whom I am going to go through the program. We have both done it before, lost a lot of weight and then regained it back. No, I have not regained everything, but I do still hate where I am. Last night she and I spoke (she is in the same province, but lives 500 km from here) and discussed our concerns and anxieties, as well as our hopes. We will stay in touch – it is an extremely difficult program, and having someone to support you is a big help.
